help needed cambelt snapped
- Thread starter danny1
- Start date
i know the feeling, mine is only a 1.2 8v and it snapped on saturday, took 5 valves from what i can tell. Getting inlet valves for £4 each, exhaust valves for £5 each. Having the guides checked, valves ground in, the head skimmed and cleaned up for £45 by a mates work.
Obviously more expensive for you though

should it get changed that early?? quite worried about mine now... it on about 42k... and mine hasnt been changed yet.
best bet is to change at 36k as said above, particulary if the car is mainly used for short trips around town, etc.
Shame though, the car must just be out of warranty.
Its just almost as likely that something seized and caused the belt to break - but thats not an issue as the engine is being replaced.

What about renault customer services? They may help towards the cost of repair!
